Description: The senior residents of the Sunshine Lifestyle Village have had enough... they're revolting! Once the “makers and shakers” of their community, the residents of Sunshine Village are now largely ignored, and relegated to the sidelines of life. The world is about to find out how dangerous retired lawyers, car salesmen, hairdressers and farmers can be! Using the United Nations charter on the rights of self determination the residents decide to create their own independent Kingdom, appoint a monarch and teach the wider community a lesson. The resulting chaos and shenanigans draws the attention of the international media and upsets the nations balance of power. Williamson's new play is an observation on attitudes towards the senior community in New Zealand. Shaped by interviews with seniors and infused with his usual wit and sense of the ridiculous this promises to be a hugely entertaining and poignant examination of senior life in New Zealand. The Old People Are Revolting! The new Kiwi comedy by Devon Williamson. Adults $25; Students $20; Seniors $20; groups of 10 or more $20 Bookings at Baycourt Ticketdirect.
